Everyone loves a good gun-jumping. And, while I figure everyone is either on break or about to travel to said break, here's one of four year-end mixes I made that could soundtrack some of that holiday fun/mind-numbing boredom.
Also: I won't be doing any best-of-decade lists. Forget that shit; if I can't figure out what my favorites of the 1990s were, forget the 00s. And you need some hindsight, people.
So here are some of my favorite rock songs of the year. Their respective albums might not have made my list of favorite albums, but these tracks definitely stand out.

Friday: my favorite songs at this point in my life (sans "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins because somehow I forgot it). Saturday: All the albums I listened to plus my eight most favorites. Sunday: Notable albums that didn't make the top-eight cut.
